5 Helpful Tips to Find Out Which Diamond Ring Your Partner Wants

When selecting a diamond engagement ring or any other significant diamond ring for someone you love, there are several ways to find the perfect choice without asking them. For over a century, Ben Moss Jeweller’s, Canada’s fine jewellery store offers five tips to help you choose a personal and well-matched diamond ring.

  1. Observe Their Current Jewellery

While you can mix and match metals and stones, your partner may have notable preferences. These include:

  • Metal type
  • Gold: gold diamond rings can be set in yellow, white, or rose gold or a combination of these metals.
  • Sterling silver: an affordable and durable metal that pairs well with black diamonds.
  • Modern electrum: a recycled metal made from precious gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and rhodium, is a delightful setting for the diamond fashion ring.
  • Cobalt: similar in colour to white gold or platinum; strong and scratch-resistant
  • Titanium: as above, it is lightweight and hypoallergenic and stunning as a men’s diamond ring band  

 

  • Style
  • Classic: embodies timeless design elements seen over the decades. These include solitaire diamond rings that feature a single, often round diamond, minimalist designs, and subtle accents like 0.1-carat weight diamonds found along the side of a ring
  • Modern: can also be simple but will emphasize boldness and innovative aesthetics, including mixed metals. 
  • Vintage: reflects the aesthetic of past eras. Halo diamond rings, for example, are reminiscent of the Edwardian era, while square princess-cut diamond rings recall the Retro Era of the 1940s-1960s.
     

2. Consider Their Lifestyle

If your partner leads an active lifestyle or has an active job, consider a diamond band made from a resistant material or a low-cut oval diamond ring. For someone in a creative profession, you may want to consider a unique design or a variety of shapes and colours, such as a strawberry gold morganite and diamond ring. Lastly, consider what the diamond cuts suggest about a person and choose accordingly. 

3. Involve Their Friends or Family

If you want help choosing a diamond ring for your partner, you can ask their family and friends for their ideas on which ring your partner may want. Perhaps it is a diamond solitaire with accents ring, a diamond multi-stone ring, or something else. Either way, your partner’s friends may have insight you do not.   
 

4. Explore Their Online Accounts/Platforms

Like above, your partner’s online activity can help you discover their preference for cushion-cut diamond rings over solitaires or pear diamond rings over emerald-cut diamond rings. You may also notice their favourite colour and sort of metal as well.

5. Casual Jewellery Shopping

A final way to discover what diamond ring your partner wants without asking is to visit a jewellery store or website casually. You may approach this browsing as looking for yourself or someone else, but pay attention to where your partner’s eyes wander and make note of anything they say.
